You might just need to reduce choice anxiety.

Once my library got really big, I would find time to game, but then waste it on figuring how exactly I want to spend the time. End up on youtube or something and not actually get into a game at all.

The solution was to keep just a few games favorited, and forget the rest existed.

When I’m done with a game, it gets unfavorited. When I buy a new game it gets favorited.

If the list gets too short, I might do some spelunking in my library to favorite something from my backlog.

This way, each time I sit down to game, I have a very short list of stuff to start or continue that I might actually manage to pick from.

What the others said.

Maybe you need to take a break from games and indulge in some other, or new, hobby.

I like audiobooks, electric skateboards, cycling, manga… And more.

You could also expand the kinds of games you play. I keep trying new genres and if one gets boring I try something else.

Don’t force yourself if you aren’t having fun. That’s a quick way to really ruin something you like.

I’ve gone through several episodes of feeling like there’s nothing I want to play… But, if I keep giving things a chance, and make sure not to burn myself out by trying to find something too hard, or forcing myself to play something because it “supposed” to be fun, even when right then it isnt, something eventually gets me hooked right back in.

Most recently that has been Deadlock. I can’t get enough of it and the feeling is the best.

For the mouse, I recommend G305. It’s wireless, but it lasts a truly stupid amount of time on a single AA. Just keep a spare in your bag and you will literally never have to think about charging it.

It has a fantastic sensor, and doesn’t break the bank. As long as the shape fits you, it should be good.

For keyboards, look for “tenkeyless” or even smaller. Tenkeyless can come with full size keys, while being smaller by dropping the numpad. Even smaller keyboards might drop the columns of keys with the arrow keys and home/end/page keys, the function row, or even the number row. Somewhere along the spectrum you should get down to something that’s about the size of a SteamDeck, or smaller, without making the keys you’ll actually use while gaming, smaller.

If you want to save on thickness and weight, consider LP switches. Low profile mechanical keyboards have become more available. These’ll be thinner and have shorter travel, but without going as flat as most laptops. They can be really nice, while also being way more portable than boards with full-height key switches.

I like them myself just for the ergonomics. A keyboard that lays flatter on my desk means less bending upwards and then back down in my hands and fingers when using it.

I use a G915 TKL, but that may still be a tad big next to the Deck. (And expensive)

Edit: I remember hearing good things about keychron. I don’t have personal experience so do some research, but that K3 and this K7 seem potentially ideal. They also have a bunch of other models.

I still want more Revengeance. That sequel bait at the end still hurts.

It’s unclear.

Considering it was the first project from Kojima Productions (the independent studio he started after Konami) it’s actually probable that they didn’t own the IP.

They would have needed someone like Sony and 505 to foot the bill of developing their first project, with no incoming cashflow, and those deals usually leave the publisher holding the IP.

Whats really confusing me, is that it wasn’t Sony holding the IP rights, it was 505.

It looks like maybe 505 was holding it all, giving Sony a cut of the pie for the timed console exclusive, and now sold it all back to Kojima, allowing them to do the Xbox release.

I for one am really happy that studios are wising up and buying the rights to their own stuff when its successful enough to enable them to do that, instead of letting their IP be owned by the publishers in exchange for having them bankroll development.

Studios like Kojimas and Remedy have been shopping around with multiple publishers, and owning their own IP, means they can now even more easily drop a publisher for another, if they try to sacrifice quality.

Also it’s apparently already being completely destroyed by a cheater.

I know that Thunder lets you “label” users so you can recongize them more easily, and I think you can find a list of labeled users somewhere in the app, too.

Looks like pretty much just a texture resolution increase.

What do they mean by “smooth modern controls”? It looks exactly as charmingly janky as ever :D

Mastering that is part of the charm. The fact that Croc can’t turn on a dime is part of the game and level design.

It doesn’t.

The limit is set by the people hosting your specific instance, as they’re the ones who then have to host that image.

Different instances have different limits.

You can use other image hosts, tho, as long as they give you a direct image link. Just plop it into the url field/use it in a markdown image, instead of uploading to lemmy.

It’s also what got me to finally go linux full-time.

I had tried to a couple times before, but always ran into one too many snags.

When the deck was announced I thought to myself “that can’t work with every game, can it?” as I’d attempted that myself.

But I had to see for myself, and the improvements in proton were staggering. And it’s gotten even better since! Who would have though Apex Legends, Hunt Showdown, and a bunch of other holdouts and anti-cheat games would be running on linux within a year of the deck releasing?

• Katana ZERO
• Hades
• Satisfactory

Oh? Does this mean they are finally starting to actually lose business because of how shitty the product is?

They wouldn’t be whining about being hated if it didn’t impact their bottom line…

They were pretty well done. Most of the time something suddenly happening is a good scare, and AW2 had several events like that. The first cultist encounter with a big guy bursting through a wall, for example.

But I might agree that some of the full-screen scares that just flashed an image over the screen along with a loud noise were a bit cheap.

It would be madness!

And !moomin@sopuli.xyz!

Nice, 250 posts and comments a year, on average more than one of either each day when combined! That seems like a normal amount that no sane person would exceed.

Not a full-price title?

I’m unconditionally interested considering the stuff Remedy has made so far, but I didn’t see that coming.

This does seem like a regression, though.

I’ve definitely made changes from off-instance accounts before.

ARM isn’t exactly efficient when used for performance-demanding things. It excels a low power efficiency, but as soon as you throw a persistent heavy process at it, it’ll gulp down a battery all the same.

And x86 has been catching up on both sides. Standby times are only getting better.

Wait until you find out about the child labour stuff.

There may not be sweatshops in the developed world, but you can bet your ass a lot of roblox “dev studios” are really just one or two adults, exploiting a bunch of kids for free labour via discord.

Oh, and then there’s the fully integrated speculative market for assets and cosmetics, where ten-year-olds gain and lose thousands of real dollars in robux.

The ecosystem around Roblox is a complete shitshow that no sane parent should allow a kid anywhere near.
